Wow, Lou! You're even dumber than you look!

But I'll still do you for a good bottle of scotch. Or even a cheap one -
the proof is the same! Wouldn't you rather be Blew Lou than Blue Lou?

Hee hee

I used to have them all ready when I lived in the midwest... in Florida
under IFR flight plan, my routes get changes everytime I change
controllers. I do keep the arrival/departure freqs handy but the VORs I
look up on an as needed basis usually on the low altitude IFR charts.
I find it faster than on the GPS and I can hold them up in front of my
instruments so I can keep up the scan.

I do all that and more before I leave the house because that is what
you are supposed to do.

As to the source, it is a mix of sectional, AF/D, Flight Guide, and
the AOPA airport diagrams.

I certainly don't run down the the FBO the day I find my sectional is
out of date. This is especially silly when your flight crosses 3 or 4
sectionals. I'm not going to keep the entire U.S. in my flight bag up
to date. I do ensure my IFR charts are up to date though.

Some of the subscription services are great for this.

I get charts, plates, etc... as they expire and only pay a few bucks
extra for shipping. If it's a "foldable" chart (not an AF/D or NACO
Plate Pack), I only pay $1 shipping through AvShop.

mypilotstore.com has them at a discount, with free shipping. It's what
I do.

It's even cheaper to get them direct from NACO, but you do have to
pay for the annual subscription in advance.

I meant to include that even the shipping on the A/FD is free.
